Originally published in 1961, this exuberant picture book was illustrated and designed by Paul Rand, one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century. The text by Ann Rand is filled with clever wordplay and not only tells the engaging story of Little 1 and his quest for a friend, but makes learning numbers and simple addition positively fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute story but awkward to read aloud,
By Kelly H (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little 1 (Hardcover)
Cute story about numbers with simple, colorful illustrations. My only problem with this book is the rhyme--reading it out loud, it's hard to find a rhythm to it, so it just feels awkward a lot of the time.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very cool and well-designed children's book,
This review is from: Little 1 (Hardcover)
Love this book - cute little story and very cool typography and design. It sits on a display shelf in my daughter's room when we're not reading it.

ONE-derful!,

This review is from: Little 1 (Hardcover)
Love this book! It's ONE-derful! The children in our house place this volume at the top of their request list. Numbers, simple addition, and friendship all rolled into ONE. The text and graphics are simple yet entertaining to the younger set -- the target audience. Beginning readers may also enjoy tackling this ONE. I recommend this book -- will buy it again to give as gifts -- encourage friends to get a copy. It is truly ONE of a kind!
